Land Services
Management | Preparation | Maintenance
HD Ground Control provides practical, precision land management and yard maintenance services for properties in Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and the greater High Desert region. Our work is organized into two core service areas: tractor operations and landscaping services - both designed to enhance the beautiful and unique desert terrain.
Work the land right... leave the land better.
Tractor Operations
HD Ground Control provides professional tractor services, grading, land clearing, and site preparation throughout Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree, Wonder Valley, Yucca Valley, and Morongo Valley.
Landscape Services
Custom high-desert landscaping designed for durability and beauty including grading, native plant installation, rock features, irrigation prep, and property cleanups. We transform raw desert land into functional, low-maintenance outdoor spaces built to thrive.
Tractor Operations
Land Clearing & Site Prep
Selective clearing, brush removal, and surface preparation for raw or overgrown parcels. Ideal for residential builds, cabins, campgrounds, solar projects, and agricultural uses.
Grading & Pad Preparation
Creation of level building pads, improved drainage flow, and stable working surfaces for homes, ADUs, containers, tents, barns, and equipment yards.
Driveways, Ingress & Egress
Construction and maintenance of dirt driveways, private access roads, and internal trail systems. Designed for proper compaction, water runoff, and long-term durability in desert conditions.
Trenching & Utility Support
Trenching for water lines, electrical conduit, irrigation, and other underground utilities. Clean, accurate cuts that support efficient follow-on work by plumbers, electricians, and installers.
Erosion Control & Drainage
Shaping land to manage stormwater, reduce washouts, and protect roads, pads, and structures from seasonal runoff.
Storm & Debris Cleanup
Post-storm cleanup of desert properties impacted flash floods, or heavy rain. Removal of sediment and debris from roads and pads, and restoring safe access after storm events.
Landscape Services
Property Beutification
Layout and preparation for native and drought-tolerant landscapes, hardscapes, gardens, plant placement, natural walkways and grading for proper water flow.
Soil Conditioning & Irrigation
Layout and ground preparation for drip irrigation and low-flow systems, including trenching coordination, emitter planning, and zone layouts for desert landscapes.
Decorative Rock & Gravel
Placement and leveling of gravel, DG, and stone features for pathways, pads, and landscape zones that reduce dust, manage runoff, and lower long-term maintenance.
Windbreaks & Privacy Fencing
Installation support for natural windbreaks and visual buffers using fencing, berms, plantings, or terrain shaping ideal for rural properties, campgrounds, and rental sites.
Tree & Plant Installation
Assistance with placement and installation of trees and plants, including desert-appropriate species that thrive in local conditions.
Ongoing Yard Maintenance
Recurring landscape maintenance and weed mitigation for homeowners, landowners, and property managers, keeping yards presentable year-round.
